Washington Nationals: Enny Romero must be utilized more

After being acquired for next to nothing this offseason, Enny Romero emerged as a reliable reliever in the back-end of the Washington Nationals bullpen. He always had a live arm, but was never able to harness his control in the Tampa Bay organization.

Because of this, Romero was routinely shuttled between the minor and major leagues, eventually exhausting his options. Since he was out of options, the Rays elected to trade him to the Nats. With the Nats, he finally harnessed his control and appears to be tapping into his high potential.

Unfortunately for Romero and the Nats, his breakout season was interrupted by a trip to the DL with right forearm tightness.
